So innovative it's just a Tile. They do have the advantage of having really good coverage in the US, but I don't see the innovation.

Directional location is pretty innovative.

I suspect device coverage, relative to tile, even in countries not dominated by Apple, composes of a couple orders of magnitude more devices.

Tile didn't use Ultra Wideband until after AirTags existed, and I think even now it's only the Tile Pro that has it.

I used Tile for years before AirTags came along. The difference is night and day.

Tile is pure garbage. I say this as someone who has used both.
